The solar panel, inverter and sockets are all ready: the e-bike charging station in front of House 5 has been put into operation for an initial trial run. What makes it special is that, thanks to the solar panel and battery, it operates independently and the bikes can be charged using ‘green’ electricity.
The test run showed that, in summer, the sunlight is intense enough to charge several e-bikes simultaneously. Digital technology in the inverter and other components allows for precise monitoring of exactly when and how much electricity is being generated and consumed. This data is collected, and the insights gained are used for further development and improvement.
Now, before the e-bike charging station can be put into operation, there are just a few bureaucratic hurdles – such as fire safety requirements – to overcome before university staff and students can use the charging point for their e-bikes.
